Not necessarily. Your hero needs to be somebody you can sympathize and identify with. Making her flawed and realistic will win your readers. When I read a book, I often ask myself what I would do if I am faced with a similar situation. Would I follow her decision or would I do the opposite of what she did?
I don't believe so. In Sam Waas book, "Blood Storm" I find myself really not liking the character of the protagonist, but liking the things he does and his motivations. At the same time. His character is a little too "vulnerable" for my tastes.
